#working as a director

[nyctosaurid]

don bluth films occupy a weird space because he's both inarguably an auteur who directs very strange, earnest, often "ugly" films but also a guy who near exclusively made movies for 8 year olds in the home video era. so basically everything he's ever done is a grimy, dreamy rumination on death and spirituality and has a direct to video sequel called something like secret of nimh 2: mrs. brisby's holiday adventure

[A drawing of Nicky, Joe, Quynh, and Andy from The Old Guard. They are all in profile, walking in a straight line facing the sun. They are dressed in medieval clothing and armour, and each carry their own weapons and bags. Nicky has his sword, a crossbow, a quiver of bolts, a dagger at his belt and another strapped to his ankle. Joe is holding his sword, a bag, and a coin purse. Quynh's bow is over her back, and her quiver is at her hip. Two daggers are strapped to her belt, one of them matching Nicky's. Andy is holding her axe, two bags, and a dagger. They each have serene expressions and closed eyes, as if they're not in a hurry. In the background, the seasons change from winter to spring, summer, fall. There is an old tree behind them, and its branches change with the seasons.]

So does anybody else ever think about how Loop felt the need to demonstrate that the party's deaths wouldn't have any effect on the loops. I know I do but that's besides the point. Anyway I don't think Loop actually needs to bathe, they just like to feel included.

In Greta Gerwig’s Narnia, God Is a Woman and the Usual Suspects Are Spinning It Faster Than Lewis’ Corpse in His Grave.

Again, please consider:

Would you call Michael Bay a “visionary” if he was hired to reboot Wonder Woman and not only cast Chris Pratt as the lead character, but made Diana “Wonder Man?”

Would you call him a “visionary” for taking a character who’s based off a historical figure, a historical figure who’s gender is an integral part of their iconography, and swapping that gender?

Would you call it “visionary” for Michael Bay to grab Wonder Woman, who is associated with a historical person that means so much to huge swathes of worldviews, and invert Wonder Woman?

Would you, seriously?

Be intellectually honest.

It’s not “visionary.” It’s narcissistic.

Who are you, who do you think you are, to take something that means something bigger than you to people who are more numerous than you and invert it? So that it only means what you think it should mean, and all your groupies?

She’s Woman, so God has to be, too. Because she thinks she’s god. The narcissism. I’m choking on it.

What a one-trick pony Greta Gerwig is.

Barbie’s gotta be Eve-turned-into-God-because-God-should-be-a-Woman-because-Greta’s-a-Woman.

Jo’s gotta be representing-Greta-Gerwig’s-personal-experience-as-a-woman-which-represents-every-woman’s-experience-as-a-woman-because-Greta-Gerwig-is-all-there-is.

Ain’t you got any other tricks, Madam Mirror? Some “visionary.”

When the youngest sibling becomes the oldest :)

Q&A (as asked by my sister and me to myself)

Q: Why is Time wearing his kokiri clothes while everyone else is just in smaller versions of their regular outfits?

A: Time came prepared for a situation exactly like this. shrunken or not child him is not wearing that armor (i didnt want to draw it)

Q: Why is Wind lecturing Legend?

A: He tried to grab a fire rod

Q: Why are they all children except for Wind?

A: I thought it would be funny. Maybe a wizzrobe did it. Maybe blue stalfos from oracle of ages showed up. Maybe there was an incident with Purah's de-aging rune. Who knows I'm just the artist here

My pants too.

I'm not helping you with your hangover here.

That's not what I'm asking. I just want you to take my pants off. But if that's where your mind's at, I won't complain, though.

not to sound like an immortal but 1925 should NOT be 100 years ago next year. wtf. that's the year Buster Keaton's "Seven Chances" and "Go West", Charlie Chaplin's "Gold Rush", AND Harold Lloyd's "the Freshman" came out. When you say "100 year old film" I'm thinking about those "moving pictures" that were essentially postcard illustrations projected onto the silver screen. But you're trying to tell me Sherlock Jr., a movie with a solid plot, interesting cinematography, and PEAK comedic timing is a century old??? shut up stop lying to me.
